Nevermind the product seems to only be discontinued in Australia.
All reviews I see on this router say that its an amazing standalone router, but when it was launched the mesh functionality was not ironed out so it was sub par. The mesh part over time got completely fixed now its also a great mesh router. So be very careful about old reviews.

This single device:
- 2×2 Wi-Fi 4 2.4GHz band
- 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 5GHz band
- 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 5GHz band
As a standalone device, it's a 4-port wireless Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router. It is not operating as/in a mesh device/environment in this scenario.Now, if you set up 2 of these devices and establish a mesh environment, said mesh will default to using the fastest Wi-Fi band for its dedicated "backhaul" (to establish and maintain the mesh). You can change the configuration to use Ethernet as the dedicated backhaul (it doesn't to this automagically just because you plugged opposite ends of an Ethernet cable into each). After such connection and change in the firmware, voila, your Wi-Fi 6 endpoints are provided full/total/complete 4x4 access to this band (aka, Wi-Fi 6 network). However, if you leave it with the default settings (don't have dedicated Ethernet or you do, but don't change it in the settings), your endpoints can only see/connect to the 2x2 Wi-Fi 5 5GHz band, leaving you with, as you now realize, a Wi-Fi 5 network (client to broadcaster connection/speed).

2. For ethernet backhaul (ethernet cable connected between routers) where exactly do you change setting to use ethernet as backhaul instead of default wifi?
3. My eero 2nd gen dual band gets max 450MBps wifi wih 1gig fiber so what would be the max you would guess for this Asus router? Thanks

I've been using this router for over a year. Until the recent firmware update, it was rock solid. I use ethernet backhaul. You will have three channels, 2.4ghz, 5 ghz AC channel and 5 ghz AX channel. I have 1 gbps service and this router will deliver 900-950 mbps for wired connection and 850-900 mbps for wireless (at the router). I use the following features, Parental control, traffic monitor, Open VPN, DDNS server, QOS, AI protection.
While this is a great router, I do caution Netgear introduced the first WifFi6e router. it's still very pricy but I'd others are coming out soon. So, if you want the latest and greatest technology, you may want to wait a few months.
